The 2017 smart fortwo base trim operates as a compact hatchback with a passenger_capacity of two. This rear_wheel_drive configuration pairs a curb_weight of 2050 pounds with a wheelbase of 73.7 inches to maximize tight-space navigation. The vehicle measures 106.1 inches in length and provides 48.0 inches of front shoulder_room, establishing its niche as a dedicated micro-car platform.
A 1.0-liter i3 engine generates 89 hp at 6200 rpm and 100 lb-ft of torque at 2500 rpm, channeled through a five-speed manual transmission. The powertrain delivers an epa_city of 31 mpg, an epa_highway of 39 mpg, and an epa_combined of 34 mpg, supported by a fuel_tank_capacity of 8.7 gallons that yields a range of 339.3 miles. Standard safety equipment includes an abs_system alongside frontal, knee, head_curtain_front, and side_impact_seat_mounted airbags. Inside, the cabin features an am and fm radio with a speaker_count of two and integrated bluetooth connectivity.
Ownership coverage includes a four-year or 50000-mile warranty for basic, corrosion, drivetrain, and roadside_assistance components. Buyers selecting this configuration receive leather seating surfaces as the standard interior_materials option. The two-passenger layout and manual transmission setup prioritize efficiency over automatic convenience or rear seating utility.
